WinX Video Converter: A Powerful Tool to Convert and Download Videos

Video conversion utilities help you convert videos from one format to another so that you can watch them on different devices and share them on a variety of video-sharing platforms online.

But unfortunately, not all video-converting programs manage to live up to their claims. While some fall short in terms of the formats they support, others fail to maintain the video quality upon conversion.

WinX Video Converter comes as an exception here. It can be used to convert videos from a wide range of devices and file formats, including 4K/UHD footages. Moreover, the software also doubles up as a video editor: to help you edit out certain elements of your footage; and a video downloader: to assist you in downloading videos from various video-sharing websites.

Here’s a closer look at the WinX Video Converter and how you can use it for your video conversion and video downloading needs, among other things.

What Is WinX Video Converter?

WinX Video Converter is a free video converting software from WinXDVD that enables you to convert videos into different formats, including MP4, MOV, AVI, MP3, and more. It supports the operation for up to 4K videos recorded with DJI drones, 120fps/240fps videos captured by GoPro, and high-res RAW footages from camcorders.

Not just that, you also get to perform basic editing operations like resizing, trimming, cropping, and merging, as well, so you don’t have to look for another program.

One of the aspects that makes WinX Video Converter stand out from other video converting tools is that it can also help you download videos. So, in addition to converting videos from your storage devices, you can also download videos from hundreds of video streaming platforms in your preferred file format and video resolution right onto your computer.

What Can WinX Video Converter Do?

Being a video converter, WinX works just like any other video converting software, except that it has a few advantages over others that make it a better choice for all your video conversion needs.

Some of these advantages include:

1. Support for a wide range of devices

One of the most significant advantages that WinX has over other video converter utilities is support for various platforms and devices. So not only can you convert and record videos recorded using smartphones, but you can also use the software on GoPro, DJI drone, and camcorder recorded footage.

2. Support for all major file formats

WinX supports various file formats and allows you to convert your videos from pretty much any file format to some other format. So when you select a video file on the software, it provides you a list of various output profiles (file formats and device types) to help you find the right (read compatible) file format for your device in which you can convert the video.

Some of the supported video formats include HEVC, H.264, MPEG-4, MP4, MKV, M2TS, WMV, and MOV.

3. Support for basic editing

WinX also comes with a built-in video editor, which allows you to perform basic editing operations on your footage like cropping, trimming, and merging footage, so you don’t have to rely on another app.

In addition, you can add subtitles to your videos to accurately describe the content to viewers and tweak frame rate parameters for smooth playback and uploading.

4. Support for compression

One of the problems with high-resolution 4K video files is their size, which affects the storage capacity and playback performance on some devices. WinX helps you in this regard by allowing you to reduce (compress) the file size of these videos while keeping their quality intact (up to 90%) without any visual quality loss, so you can watch 4K/UHD videos stutter-free and upload them to YouTube or other video sharing platforms faster.

5. Support for video downloading

Like we mentioned earlier, WinX doubles up as a video downloader, which enables it to help you find and download videos from thousands of different websites like YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter, and many others, right onto your computer.

In addition, it also gives you the option to choose the format (in which you want to download the video file) and its resolution, so you have better control over the quality and size of the video that you download.
